Mattupetty Dam

Munnar, India

Mattupetty Dam is a concrete gravity dam built in the 1950s to conserve water for hydroelectric power generation, located about 13 kilometres from Munnar. The tranquil reservoir, surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, reflects the scenery, creating an appealing view for visitors and a popular spot for photography. Plan to take a walk along the dam and enjoy the surrounding gardens, which are particularly pleasant in the early morning. You can also hire a speedboat or kayak on the lake. Nearby, the Indo-Swiss Farm showcases dairy farming and hybrid cattle, offering a glimpse into local agriculture.
